Closing remarks: It was worth it! I would do it again, but I would pay special attention not to sharpie over the good parts of the finish, because that looks weird. I would use an "extra fine" sharpie instead of just "fine" like I did here to avoid painting over the good finish! I would also keep some of those thin cosmetic q-tips around damp (NOT soaked) with rubbing alcohol to wipe off excess sharpie from the good finish.

Today, I just painted my Black X100V and I had several options to choose from. I tried black marker pen, acrylic, and wheel touch-up color. Comparing, after several attempts, it turned out that the wheel touch-up was the best choice, durable, and had a similar shine to the original finish. I have to repeat multiple times using a specific erasing liquid (not alcohol, not nail paint remover) to erase the excess with an eraser and cotton bud. Repeat until the surface is (near) perfectly smooth.

Never another silver Fujifilm body for me! Scratch too easily!

First, try applying the silver sharpie only on the affected area. Do several coats, and allow each to thoroughly dry. Then, using a paper towel, lightly rub the area across the scratch, not in the same direction as the scratch. and what in hell were you hoping to accomplish by rubbing alcohol on the area? You should have thoroughly cleaned the area with alcohol prior to putting on the sharpie coats. if you’re still not happy with the results, try getting some silver modeling paint at your local hobby store and repeating the process with that. Apply the paint, but don’t allow it to thoroughly dry before lightly buffing it.

We pay so much for Fujifilm cameras, they shouldn’t so easily. Never a silver version again. Although I prefer Fujifilm, you don’t get the same problem with Canon.

Is there an exact color code of sharpie that i need to buy? My camera is also scratched.

Fujifilm do not care about these problems, they already have our cash!
